Bernie’s Notes

There’s a fairly new app called Clubhouse which allows group audio chats. Currently you can only join via invitation. I’d like to know if there are TCN readers who are already members of Clubhouse. I’ve seen some career fields well represented but transportation, and its subsets such as transit, ITS, and aviation, do not seem to have many members yet. If you are a member I invite you to follow me or let me know you’re on so I can follow you. I’m interested in exploring how this communications tool might be used in transportation.



Upcoming Events
